CREATING THE URGENCY Ageing Workforce High Turnover Roles Boom-and-bust cycle of the workforce New skills and competencies High Vacancies Over-reliance on overtime and contingent work MERCER 2015 10
CREATING THE URGENCY Improved time to fill and reduction in the time during which key positions remain unfilled. Difference between optimal staffing levels and actual staffing levels requiring overtime or outsourced labour at a premium rate. More opportunities to build the workforce required, rather than buy, which can avoid the expense of having to hire experienced recruits and agency staff at a premium. More opportunities to retain rather than recruit workers, where turnover is high in critical areas. Foresight reduces recruitment costs and agency fees, and increased the quality of hired staff.

MERCER S TOP TIPS THE WORKFORCE PLAN IS OWNED BY THE ORGANISATION, BUT THE PROCESS IS DRIVEN BY HR It should be a collaborative process; accountability for implementing the plan rests with the organisation. FOCUS ON YOUR CRITICAL WORKFORCE SEGMENTS Workforce planning is the process of focusing on those few strategic positions that add significant value to the organisation. PLAN FOR MORE THAN ONE OUTCOME Plan for multiple future scenarios and create workforce plans that reflect those futures. Push the boundaries of traditional thinking! FORECAST. FORECAST. FORECAST. Forecast where current practices are leading the workforce and compare to organisation projections. Examine both internal and external supply of talent. Forecasting demand may be the most difficult step; be flexible. RELY ON FACTS; IT S A DATA-DRIVEN PROCESS Leverage the data you ve already got.

MERCER S TOP TIPS DON T CUT AND PASTE Benchmarks are the key to someone else s success. Determine the best fit for your organisation based on your workforce facts. FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE (AND SKILLS) TO SUPPORT THE PROCESS Consider splitting the workforce planning roles. Keeping the process simple will help maintain continuity even when people move in and out of roles. YOUR WORKFORCE PLAN SHOULD TELL A STORY Focus on a particular organisation issue and solve it don t get lost in the data, and don t inundate leaders with a workforce plan that fills a binder. Be concise and tell a compelling story. Keep it under 10 pages. WORKFORCE PLANNING IS NOT AN EVENT It s a collaborative process that should be synched with organisation planning. Think of it as an ongoing programme and adjust expectations accordingly. BE PATIENT: STICK WITH IT Don t try to do everything at once! Most successful programmes start with a pilot working with one department on a specific issue, and build credibility and scale from there. MERCER 2015 19 TOP 10 TIPS FOR STRATEGIC WORKFORCE PLANNING
